Londoners Tyler Darrington (Fanshore) and Tristan Gibbs (Tropic) worked alongside each other day in, day out and started to swap ideas about music.

Moving between jazz, soul, and hip-hop, the pair began to make beats after work, just throwing ideas around at first before it became a little more serious.

Adding a track to the Treehouse 707 ‘Quiet’ compilation a year ago, the pair went public on their intentions.

Deciding to re-tool the track for a full official release, 'Reaper' has added muscle, the caramel beat carrying a Dilla weight.

There's a real sense of light to the track, but Fanshore & Tropic also add a certain weight, a kind of swagger - coupled with some Japanese elements, too.

They explain: "Sonically, I wanted to achieve a sound that was youthful, significant to London but also holding a sense of oriental escapism to the track."

Jamz Supernova gave 'Reaper' a spin a few hours ago, and you can check it out below.
